PROJECTS
Projects keep Dana busy and productive. They may orginerate from their part-time business, volunteer work or a hobby. Here are a few sample of some of their current and past projects. They have also has included a few testimonials from clients and employers.
Projects
Dana designed a the memorial sticker, challenge coin and patch for the Davis Police Officers Association in memory of fallen Police Officer Natalie Corona who gave all on January 10th, 2019. All the design work was done as a donation.
Dana designed a police badge for the Ashland Massachusetts Police. They wanted a badge based on the Boston, Massachusetts, police badge. The design Dana created was produced by another vendor without permission and that company did not reproduce the design as intended. 2020 the project comes alive again with the APD seeking a U.S. manufacture and a better-quality badge, however, that project has been postponed. Smith and Warren have mastered 3-dimensional processes like no other badge manufacture can do. It's early in the process.
Dana planned and managed security operations for the Harvest Festival 2008-2017. As an all-volunteer not for profit event. It can be a challenging mission to have enough people and funds to make this yearly event happen. 2013-2017 they also were the Assistant Director of the event, so multitasking was required since he was wearing two hats for this event.
In 2007 Dana was contacted by the Nevada’s Governor’s Office to design a pin for the Governor’s Protection Detail. They had some concept ideas that he created graphically. They chose one of the designs Dana came up with and then they worked with one of their badge manufactures to produce this lapel pin. Only 25 of them were made. Certainly a collectors item now.
